The next ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers will be held May 11-13th, 2020 in Sicily, Italy.
Computing Frontiers is an eclectic, interdisciplinary, collaborative community of researchers investigating emerging technologies in the broad field of computing: our common goal is to drive the scientific breakthroughs that transform society.
CF’s broad scope is driven by recent technological advances in wide-ranging fields impacting computing, such as memory hardware and systems, network and systems architecture, cloud computing, novel device physics and materials, power efficiency, new application domains of machine and deep learning and big data analytics, and systems portability and wearability. The boundaries between state-of-the-art and revolutionary innovation constitute the advancing frontiers of science, engineering, and information technology - and are the CF community focus. CF provides a venue to share, discuss and advance broad, forward-thinking, early research on the future of computing and welcomes work on a wide spectrum of computer systems, from embedded and hand-held/wearable to supercomputers and datacenters.

Submission Guidelines
We encourage the submission of both full and short papers containing high-quality research describing original and unpublished work. Papers must be submitted through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cf2020
Short papers may be position papers or may describe preliminary or highly speculative work. Full papers are a maximum of eight (8) (excluding references) and short papers a maximum of four (4) double-column pages (including references) in ACM standard conference proceedings format. Authors may buy up to two (2) extra pages for accepted full papers. Page limits include figures, tables and appendices. As the review process is double-blind, removal of all identifying information from paper submissions is required (i.e., cite your own work in the third person and remove authorship). Papers not conforming to the above submission policies on formatting, page limits and the removal of identifying information will be automatically rejected.
No-show policy: Any accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference and at least one full registration is required from a submission author for each accepted paper. A no-show will result in exclusion from the ACM digital library proceedings. If circumstances arise such that authors are unable to present their papers at the conference, they must contact the PC co-chairs.
Venue
The conference will be held at the Museo Diocesano di Catania in the city of Catania in Sicily, Italy.
